An officer said he believed about a dozen youngsters were at the facility at the time.

Gunfire near the northeastside intersection was reported to dispatchers at 3:48 p.m.

About 20 minutes later, officials at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital informed authorities that a Muncie man suffering from two gunshot wounds had arrived at the emergency department in a car.

Investigators said the 28-year-old man, whose wounds were not life-threatening, could provide little information about how he was shot. He reportedly acknowledged it took place while he was in his car, in the same general area as the daycare center.
